Lots to catch up on

Here's a baby gathering at our house on Thursday afternoon (over a week ago). Michelle and I took our girls swimming - that's Cerys wearing the baseball cap. And when we got back, we watched Tabitha for a little while (she's in the background with Michelle). So we had a bit of time with the girls playing.

This is just a picture of Michaela in her high chair with one of her dummies that Mom won on a baby website. They're so cute because they have 'Michaela' written on them!

Here's a picture of one of Michaela's favourite games - make a mess! She just loves pulling all of Mom's catalogues (or magazines or newspapers or really anything she can get her hands on) off the shelf and just throwing them on the ground without looking at them. On Monday Granny came into the house to find Michaela surrounded by all of this mess.

On Tuesday Mom went back to work. It was really good and, surprisingly, Mom actually could remember bits of how to do her job! Unfortunately though, Michaela got ill on Tuesday night and was sick again on Wednesday morning and Thursday evening. So it was really difficult for Mom to go to work on Wednesday. Luckily it was Granny babysitting, so Mom knew Michaela was left in good hands! But it meant we couldn't go to the nursery on Thursday to check it out, so we'll do that on Monday instead.

Another of Michaela's favourite games is brushing teeth. She just loves to 'help' Mom brush her teeth in the morning.

On Thursday Auntie Ivanna came home, so we've been trying to spend a bit of time with her. The last time Auntie Ivanna saw Michaela was when we went to America in January, so she's noticed a huge difference in Michaela. But since Michaela is still a bit ill, Auntie Ivanna's not been able to see our usually happy little girl, but she has caught glimpses. Hopefully Michaela will be fully recovered before Auntie Ivanna goes on Monday afternoon.

We've also bought Michaela her first pair of proper, fitted shoes. Mom hasn't got a photo uploaded yet, but will do for the next blog. They are so cute, but also so expensive - £18 - and we've got to get her fitted every eight weeks! But Michaela seems to like them and we're finding they're great because she can't pull them off.

And on Friday, Michaela had her first sandwich - ham. She just loves, loves, loves bread, so thought this was a great lunch. She ate the ham too, but was more interested in shoving in as much bread as she possibly could! Anyway, think that's most of the news for now.
